LETTINGagents Cushman & Wakefield has revealed the secret to the success of Silverburn Shopping Centre.

Almost now fully let, the £350m Silverburn mall experienced a slow start to landing retail tenants due to uncertain market conditions.

In order to speed things up, mall owners Retail Property Holdings had to offer "aggressive" incentives to stores such as rent-free periods.

"Although the pre-letting of Silverburn took some time to gather some momentum, the last few months have proven to be a turning point in terms of kick-starting the letting of the centre," said Stuart Moncur of Cushman & Wakefield.

"We're sure all of our clients will trade well within the centre as we do not see this as being in competition with Glasgow city centre."
